Sharepoint Search Service: Access is denied
When I was working on getting the search working on my SharePoint 2010 Farm I ran into 2 problems. Both problems caused the same error:
Access is denied. Verify that either the Default Content Access Account has access to this repository, or add a crawl rule to crawl this repository. If the repository being crawled is a SharePoint repository, verify that the account you are using has “Full Read” permissions on the SharePoint Web Application being crawled.
This is quite a clear error, but there might be a couple of solutions that are less obvious.
Solution 1
Disable loopback check.
- Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK
- In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa - Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value
- Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER
- Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify
- In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK
- Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer
Solution 2
Specifically when you’re crawling the people search (sps). Make sure that the default content access account (crawl account) has access to the User Profile Service
- Open the Central Administration and go to Application Management
- Click Manage service application in the Service Application section
- Select the User Profile Service Application and click on Administrators
- Add your content access account and give it the Retrieve People Data for Search Crawlers permission
Hope this helps you!
